Press Release from Master Naturalists
April 30, 2016
Join us for an exciting and FREE fun day on White Rock Lake!
The North Texas Master Naturalists will host the fourth annual Native Plants and Prairies Day on Saturday, April 30, 2016 from 10 AM to 3 PM, at the Bath House Cultural Center grounds on White Rock Lake.
This year will be better than ever! Miko, a live bison shown by a professional cowboy rodeo association cowgirl, will join us. We have also added 3 food trucks to the event, along with more raptors and snakes.
There will be 30+ demonstrations and information/outreach booths, 15 thirty minute wildflower and prairie walks guided by local experts, and a lecture series of experts giving short talks.
Additionally, there will be a raffle with gifts provided by thirteen event sponsors along with music by the Ackermans and the Aztec dancers.
This FREE family event has been enthusiastically received by the community for its focus on Texas flora and fauna, and the use of native plants in home landscapes as disease and drought resistant alternatives to non-native species. Native plants and grasses have always been an important part of Texas history. Birds, animals, and insects all depend on these native plants to survive.
Major sponsors for the event include: Botanical Research Institute of Texas, Pariveda Solutions, Rain Fresh Water, Texas Discovery Gardens, Whole Earth Provision Co., and Whole Foods Market on Park Lane.
